This is called a Sofra. As with many rug names, you may find it spelled several ways, such as Soofra or Sofre. In simple terms, this was a dining table or eating mat. It is a kilim (flat weave).

The other line is the year 1321 (Islamic calendar) which converts to 1903 in the Gregorian calendar. OOPS! You forgot to upload swfobject.js ! You must upload this file for your gallery to work.
This was a nomad's dining table.
